5 WWE Superstars who could dethrone Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship

#2. Big E could dethrone Sami Zayn

Big E is a rising star.

Last week on SmackDown, WWE separated The New Day during the draft. The duo of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods moved to RAW, leaving the powerhouse of the group, Big E, to fend for himself on SmackDown. However, before Kingston and Woods returned, Big E was already pursuing a singles run in the midcard.

He fought with the likes of Sheamus, The Miz, and John Morrison. A bright future awaits Big E and it could all start with an Intercontinental Championship run, which he would have to defeat the irksome Sami Zayn to achieve.

The former Intercontinental Champion is a gem of a Superstar. He just needs a launching pad to take his career to the next level. WWE's workhorse title that has elevated several stars in the past. It could do the same for Big E, who has already won the Intercontinental Championship in the past. Unfortunately, Sami Zayn stands in the way.

Sami Zayn is a sly, cowardly heel who would do just about anything to cling on to his Intercontinental Championship. On the contrary, Big E is a bold and honorable babyface that lays it all on the line. Their feud would be a fresh program that could benefit everyone involved.
